Vishandel N. de Jager

Vishandel N. de Jager is a fishmonger on the Julianastraat in Wateringen whose mussels come from Zeeland and whose oysters come from western France.

Both are farmed shellfish, and they are the part of the counter that passed our fish check. The rest of the range, mostly North Sea fish such as sole, plaice, cod, turbot and mackerel caught by Dutch and Danish fishers, along with farmed salmon, sea bass and dorade, line-caught tuna and Dutch brown shrimp, we couldn't verify, because their website doesn't say which fishing gear is used. They also sell smoked and fried fish, herring and ready-made dishes.

The fish is sold at the shop at Julianastraat 1-A, where the business has been since 1956, and before Christmas orders are taken on a paper form handed in at the counter.

Their website says they know where every product comes from and whether it was caught or farmed responsibly, and that they stay away from species they know are not.
